Naturally there was consternation in many quarters about Trump's tweet yesterday that no transgendered person could serve in any capacity in the United States military. Besides the questionable rationale behind the tweet, and the insult to anyone who is willing to serve the country, there was no prior discussion of the decision.
So when the current chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Joseph F. Dunford, heard about the tweet and then was interviewed about how this would proceed, he did his duty. Not surprising, right? He told the media that nothing at all is going to change in the US military at this point because the chain of command does not begin with a tweet. Semper Fi!
